From a compiling point of view *none* of the plugins should be
needed; if the compiler/linker is complaining then something is wrong
with the makefile stuff. I think that Andreas generally has stuff set
up to compile plugins internally so that may be an indicator of
changes needed in the makefile. On RISC OS I make all the plugins
external and there are *no* compile interdependencies between VM core
and any plugin. There should not be any for any platform.
I see that in the latest copy of sqWin32Intel. on my machine there is
an explicit call to ioInitSecurity() which is completely wrong; it
forces you to have the security plugin linked directly to the vm
core. There simply isn't any need to do this. The plugin will get
loaded and initialized when it is needed.
I also see a curious file called sqWin32Stubs.c which has a large
number of function references straight into plugins - since I don't
do Windows I have no idea what this could be for - but it does have
#ifdefs you can turn off and they might help. You'll find many of
them in sqWin32.h - look for the #ifdef MINIMAL.
